Data capture stops when tablet screen is turned off or process goes to background?

[louisaw123]

Describe the bug The current cold chain app 0.5.5 has a WAKE_LOCK feature which is meant to keep cold chain app screen on.

Checked the tablet today - screen was off and when turning the screen on, it came up with this:

To Reproduce dont know

Expected behavior Screen is meant to be on always

Smartphone (please complete the following information): cold chain app 0.5.5 tablet samsung

Additional context Checked MDM and screen timeout was set on 30 seconds. Have changed this to always be on - has not been long enough to confirm it will still keep on

Based on my reading of this doc, it sounds like wakelock might not work without also implementing background processing... https://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/wakelock

As a short term fix, we should probably consider FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON instead

Found my tablet at home like this too.

Seems like process can somehow go to background even with screen on?

I thought not to put in FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON because I was worried about battery usage, but given that the wakelock will drain the battery anyway, might as well

Fixed with #268
